Ten Chinese air force aircraft entered Taiwan's air defence zone on Wednesday accompanying five Chinese warships engaged in "combat readiness" patrols, the island's defence ministry said, the second such incursion this week.
I know right! How come there are so, so many people defending China here? I thought they were the minority. Ugh. When I was back on Reddit comments like those would always be downvoted to hell.
The issue is there are a much higher percentage here because brigading wasn’t allowed on reddit so they’d be banned for this type of activity. They come here and can do what they want, which is fine as long as it doesn’t hurt other people doing what they want, which in this case is arguably happening because it clutters the comments with the same thing repeated over and over, and they are organized so it’s all up voted. This doesn’t make them the majority opinion though. It makes them the organized opinion. They are not the majority by any means, but they will make sure to come to China’s defence whenever it’s mentioned, where others won’t bother.
Yeah! It’s kind of sketchy how most hexbear.net comments here have >10 upvotes
edit: it’s also sketchy that over 95% of comments on this post are from hexbear.net, while on the average Lemmy post (not on lemmy.world) there would only be less than 20%

It might be worth keeping in mind that Reddit has, for several years now, biased its moderation policy against the sort of voices who would object to OP, creating a neoliberal echochamber across most of the website.

I think it’s going to be up to the users to run them out.
If you can’t cope with people with different political beliefs to you being allowed to post, maybe you should go back to reddit.
I’m fine with people with different opinions than my own posting. It’s just the number of such people surprises me.
ps. I will not go back to reddit
You had it explained where they came from, and just ignored it so you could continue with your paranoid conspiracy theory.
Why not go back to reddit? You’ll like it there, they also have the extreme solipsism to think anyone who disagrees with them is a paid foreigner
I don’t even have a theory.
Clearly
I never had a “paranoid conspiracy theory” to begin with.
Alright, it just really seemed like you were agreeing with the ‘paid Chinese bots’ guy.

Fox loves China just like nazi conservatives. They also worship putin and hate Ukraine.
